Electronics Landfill Ban: What
Retailers Need to Know
|
Retailers: West Virginia retailers may sell or lease only “covered
electronic devices” (CEDs) that are manufactured by
companies that are in compliance with the WV DEP
REAP’s covered electronics manufacturers
registration guidelines.
|
| |
CEDs include televisions, computers or video
display devices with a screen that is greater than
four inches measured diagonally. "Covered electronic
device" does not include a video display device that
is part of a motor vehicle, or that is contained
within a household appliance or commercial,
industrial or medical equipment.
|
|
Retailers may
check the status of an individual manufacturer by
using the “REAP CED Program” link on this page. It
is the responsibility of the retailer to report any
manufacturer that is noncompliant to the WV DEP.
Penalties: Senate Bill 746 states that any retailer selling CEDs not
authorized for sale in the state may be subject to
penalties of up to five hundred dollars for each
violation, but not to exceed five thousand dollars
total for the year.
Recycling: Retailers are encouraged to offer recycling services for
their customers. As an alternative, information on
electronic recycling services in the state can be
accessed by clicking on the “Earth 911 Recycling
Directory” and “West Virginia Recycling Directory”
links at the top of this page.
